Toyota sold just under 169,000 cars, trucks and vans in the U.S. in October. That amounts to an 8.8 increase from the same month in 2012.

Tundra sales were up nearly 23 percent from a year ago. The automaker sold more than 9,900 of the larger pickups last month.

Toyota sold 12,351 Tacoma pickups in October 2013, compared to 12,191 during the same 31-day period the previous year.

“Consumers showed resiliency in October with steady auto sales despite headwinds caused by the government shutdown,” says Bill Fay, Toyota division group vice president and general manager. “The growth in the auto industry continues to play a leading role in the economic recovery, and Toyota is on track for a strong close to the year.”
